Watch a True Detective deleted scene featuring Matthew McConaughey

In True Detective, Matthew McConaughey’s Rust Cohle was a loner enigma; a damaged soul prone to temptation when life’s wounds are exposed.

In a new deleted scene from the HBO series, Cohle’s girlfriend Lori sees just how deep these scars run.

The clip shows Cohle, who lost a daughter in a previous marriage, and his life partner arguing about the possibility of having children. After nearly three minutes it becomes clear to Lori that no matter how hard she tries she will never change Cohle’s “philosophies” on the subject, ultimately leading to the end of the relationship.
